law. Despite, its significance and importance, it is often ignored in the policymaking, in the process of
legislation related to the public interest. Perhaps this is due to the lack of knowledge of the policy makers of the
importance of objective of the law, or their tendency of not consulting the experts when formulating a policy.
Therefore, this study attempts to highlight the importance as well as the implementation of principles of
maqasid shari‘ah in the country’s administration. The study use library research method, hence the data
collected from relevant literatures such as journals, books and other related materials are analyzed and
conclusion are made. This study concludes that an effective and efficient administration of an Islamic state
heavily depends on the application of dynamic principles provided by shari‘ah. Some of these principles are
qawa‘id maqasidyyah, jalb al-masalih wa dar’ al-mafasid and fiqh al-awlawiyyat. |
